"The 5.19.8 kernel broke it. 5.19.9 is in testing right now and is meant to fix it."
So, I just updated to kernel 5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 that was released today. Unfortunately that didn't change anything. Still no sound :(
Makes me think that is wasn't a kernel issue at all, as the software update that originally broke the sound didn't contain a new kernel. But it did contain some firmware updates.
Is it possible to downgrade firmware packages? Or are they oneway? _______________________________________________
I have just done a full update and all now seems OK Tested on brave & vlc.
I have a feeling that the output devices my be different than before but that may just be a bad memory!
I did read somewhere that this may help dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.29-1.fc36 reboot ie downgrade from pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.58-1.fc36.x86_64
Where would I find pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.29-1.fc36?
What I tried was 'dnf downgrade pipewire' and it downgraded to pipewire-0.3.49-1.fc36 along with some other pipewire-* packages. I rebooted but it didn't change anything.
I think I will try downgrading firmware next.
oops ! The suggestion I was referring to was https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2022/09/10/warning-bug-in-latest-pipewire-p...
Where it clearly says
dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.49-1.fc36 NOT 0.3.29-1 - sorry
As I have my own local repo the rpm and dependencies were picked up from there. dnf recognised it as a downgrade and just did it. Downgrading: pipewire x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 39 k pipewire-alsa x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 62 k pipewire-gstreamer x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 61 k pipewire-libs x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 1.6 M pipewire-pulseaudio x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 28 k pipewire-utils x86_64 0.3.49-1.fc36 local-36-update 327 k
I repeat that in my case this was not needed, with kernel 5.19.9-200.fc36.x86_64 and pipewire-0.3.58-1.fc36.x86_64 all is well.
